Abstract

The purpose of the present chapter is to characterize the impact of the lowest level self-government in Poland on the protection and environmentally friendly use of local natural values by means of some available management instruments. The research sample consists of a group of mayors performing management functions in 49 communes, i.e. administrative units characterized by the smallest territory in Poland. The research method is a diagnostic survey based on a questionnaire containing 34 closed questions, as well as an additional analysis of selected statistical data concerning the municipalities covered by the study. The survey shows that some local governments still base their activities on planning documents, which have been adopted before the entry into force of currently applicable regulations in the scope of nature protection and before the end of the process of creation of the areas of Natura 2000. Not all local development plans wholly encompass the surface of the areas subjected to protective regimes, which may pose a risk of their insufficient protection. The fiscal instruments and the legal administrative tool in the form of right to place selected areas and objects under legal protection are marginally used by local authorities.
